Viral Now: Vlogger Dips Leftover Diwali Snacks In Chai, Foodies React

Did you receive many snacks and sweets for Diwali 2024? Are you wondering what to do with them? Are you trying different ways to finish them off before they turn soft or go bad? Well, a vlogger recently posted a unique solution to this dilemma. It consists of dipping the snacks in tea (chai or "chaha" in Marathi) every day til they're over. In the reel shared by @hungryexplorerss, we see a person dunking a bhajni chakli into a cup of tea. Next, they are seen adding some poha chivda to the drink. Both of these treats are a part of traditional Diwali faral - a collection of Maharashtrian delicacies typically made/distributed during this festival.

"No way chivda .. justice for chivda."

"Real meaning of masala chaha."

"Chaha-karanji is the best combo."
